Put Buttercream In The Fridge Or No?

I'm really thinking about starting to make a lot of buttercream at once and just keeping it on hand for cake orders. The buttercream recipe I use has butter and crisco in it. Should this be frozen or put in the fridge? Also, how long will buttercream last? Thanks!

I always make multiple batches of buttercream and store them in the freezer. I have used recipes with and without butter. I put in the frig a few days out to start to thaw, then the morning of the day I need it, I put in on the counter. Don't know about a butter based buttercream recipe, but a crisco based can sit out at least a week.

I like your idea of freezing it & having it ready for when you need it. I do have a question, though. Do you need to mix it up again with your KA or, can you just mix it by hand?

ddaigle, thanks for the quick reply! You're not the only one who hates cleaning that thing. I couldn't live without it, but I sure wish I could just snap my fingers and have everything sparkling clean again....
